Supporting Local Businesses

Packaging is just the start. We're working with local businesses to help everyone transition to products that are friendlier to our environment.

Shining a light on plastic waste

Only 10% of plastic in the UK is actually effectively recycled. This needs to change. When you track your waste with horizon you help us capture data on polluting brands and products. In return we'll help you find sustainable alternatives from local businesses.

As an environmental activist with a very busy schedule, this makes me feel like I’m doing so much more for the world day by day and I can safely say I’m a proud user of the Horizon app

Great job!

Thank you!

I’m just a bored 15 year old who is passionate about treating the earth correctly. What I’m trying to say is I love the app and have always wanted an app like this I just never could put it into words so thank you!!

This app will go far!

App user

This is such a simple and great idea for anyone confused about their local recycling rules. As someone who moves a lot I can never keep up to date with which council accepts which materials!

Amazing app!

I downloaded this app after seeing it on Tiktok and I’m glad to say I am very pleased with it. I always try to recycle where I can but sometimes packaging is labelled in a way that makes it very hard to understand. This app has made this process ten times easier and I hope that everyone uses it!
